About Roadside Research

Roadside Research is a co-op gas station simulator from Cybernetic Walrus, published by Oro Interactive and currently in Early Access. Aliens have landed on Earth to run a roadside gas station, and alone or with up to three friends you must do very human things to blend in while preparing for the invasion.

By day you restock shelves, order wares, refuel cars, cook food and take payments like any ordinary employee. At the same time you secretly scan and test customers to gather research data, keeping the suspicion meter low so government agents don't show up and turn you into goo. At night you plan the next day, upgrading both the station and your alien technology, and you can even draw a normal human face on your disguise.
